Imitate an explosion

I’d like to port a game where object explosion is a valuable part. How to imitate an explosion in cocos2d-html? Instead of explosion it may be burning out, or any other kind of demolishing.

Can you elaborate what kind of explosion you are trying to create?

Do you want to split an object into pieces?
Do you want to create Hollywood explosion with huge flame?

In cocos2d I used particles to make fire/explosion effect. What can I do in cocos2d-html to imitate object “demolishing”?

you can still use particle, keep the particle number down, because it could get laggy
